I thought I would post this as it seems 'obs crashs on start up' is very common.
I performed this with Ubuntu 14.04 on a GeForce GT750M .. It will work for other instances, but this is all I can test.
First: Don't immediately explain there graphics card is outdated/incompatible, they may not have pointed to there proprietary driver (in my case nvidia).
To Determine This Will Work Run:
If you see on the LAST LINE:
Then follow the instructions below for to replace nouveau with nvidia

If you don't have an nvidia graphics card, google it for your brand. Also check that it is compatible (mine was compatible up to OpenGL 4.5 but nouveau had 2.1).
CAUTION: If you don't know what youre doing, you can easily crash and need to reinstall your environment
